Clergyman and Scholar.

Rev. DR.. Mcmillan says that he was
greatly pleased with the zeal which he
found here. 1t afforded him that incentive
which every speaker needs when address
inga an assemblage. He says that the
new church which has as many seats as
that in Helena, is creditable to the Pres
byterians of Great Falls, whom he found
endowed with that resistless energy and
religious ardsr which are SO inspiring to
those who como among them. He will
carry away the most agreeable impress
ions of his own church and of the people
in general in this city.
DR.. Mcmillan speaks in high terms of
the stimulating qualities of the climate
here. He came greatly fatigued to the
city, but the insigorating air soon impart-
ed all needful strength. He feels that
| this region is well calculated to stimulate
| mental energy and develop the intellect.
He admired greatly the Giant spring
| which exceeded even the expectations he
| had formed of it. He gazed entranced
at the QatuFat ieTTdCeS 0l StOuo NJ We1i ds
| at the pearly depths of the springs with
their abundant vegetation of varied hues,
He was also lost in wonder at the majes-
tic proportions of the falls. He estimated
that the Giant spring pours into the Mis-
souri, about 1854 900 gallons of the puresf
water every hour, quantity more than
sufficient to supply the city Of New York
with all the water it consumes.

The whisky trust, which the distillers
are now endeavoring to form in Chicago, is
intended to be something like the Standard
Oil Company, by consolidation of all the
distilleries west of the Ohio river. 1t is pro.
posed to call it the Western Distillers and
Cattle Feeders Trust. The stock is to be
apportioned among the members on the
basis of the value of their plant. Stock is
to be issued for about four times the value
of the combined plants, which is estimated
at about 10000, 900, and it is to be listed
upon the Chicago and New York Stock Elk,
changes. A board of nine trustees is to
have absolute control of the production.
The plants are to be transferred outright
to the trustees, and rental of 6 per cent
is to be paid for the land for term OF
years. The owners are to receive full
percentage of their capacity where they dc
not run, and there will thus be an induce
ment for the small distillers to join the

JOHN M. CARROLL.


THE Ex-TREAsURER OF STAUNToN HEARD
FRoM-HE Is ALIVE AND EXPECTS TO RETURN
A sTAUNToN FRIEND VISITS HIM-HIS
ABIDING PLACE IS NOT MADE KNOWN.
The fact that Mr.. John M. Carroll, then
treasurer of Staunton, suddenly disappeared
in September, 1855, need not be repeated.
further than is necessary for a proper under
standing of the references now made to him.
A gentleman OF this city recently visited him,
and with those who speak authoritatively In
regard to his affairs decline to reveal more
than the representations here made Of his
matters, which are furnished for publication.
He says he did not leave because he was a de-
faulter, for on his showing, which he will
shortly return to make, his accounts were en-
tirely straight. His reasons for leaving were
of a private nature, and If disclosed would no
doubt be considered sufficient to justify him in
leaving when he did. Mr.. Carroll has been
seriously i'll, but is now convalescing, and as
soon as his health is restored he will return
here. His locality was not made known.
